On the other hand, the Mountain Suppressing Hammer's clumsiness had its advantages, and that was that it was huge. Furthermore, it was huge, and not as thin as the Mother-Child Flying Sword. If Xu Jinsong wanted to forcefully destroy it, his cultivation was not enough.
The might of the Mountain Suppressing Hammer in a head-on clash was indeed astonishing. The two words' mountain suppressing 'were not just for show. Although Xu Jinsong had rendered him incapable of attacking with just a single strike, the ground beneath Xu Jinsong's feet still cracked and exploded into a cloud of dust. Half of Xu Jinsong's body was smashed into the ground like a nail, and the wound on his severed arm, which had been sealed with transcendence energy, violently gushed out with blood.
Right at this moment, a ruler's shadow seized this opportunity to pierce through his back and waist, and it caused a spray of blood to erupt from his abdomen. Xu Jinsong spat out a mouthful of blood as well. He was seriously injured both internally and externally!
The spectators were shocked. A Red Lotus Second Grade Advisor of Suppressing Tenth Hall was actually being beaten to a pulp by three Manor Heads!
"Ji Ze! Huang Jizhang! "Seeing that the sky was filled with ruler shadows, Xu Jinsong choked on his blood and roared in grief.
"How dare you!" Ji Ze and Huang Jizhang roared in response.
It wasn't that the two of them were concerned about Xu Jinsong. In fact, the two of them didn't think that Xu Jinsong would be unable to restrain himself and start a fight here. This was the Hall Master's official residence, after all. The two of them didn't want to get involved. Moreover, they thought that Xu Jinsong would be more than enough to deal with the three of them. If they could borrow Xu Jinsong's hand to deal with the three of them without having to bear any responsibility, why not? He also had the mentality of watching the show from the side.
However, the outcome of the battle was truly shocking. Not only did Xu Jinsong not gain the upper hand, but he was also in danger of losing his life.
Now that things had escalated to this point, if the three of them killed Xu Jinsong, the two of them would also lose face.
The two of them were just about to lend a hand when a black figure suddenly descended from the sky. Shen Huaixin's voice rang out at the same time, "Stop!"
Boom! A black pagoda that flickered with red light expanded in the air and instantly descended, directly suppressing Xu Jinsong, who was half-buried in the ground. The entire square was shaken.
It was a Third Grade Magic Treasure! The Hall Master of Suppressing Tenth Hall, Shen Huaixin, had made his move at this crucial moment!
Bang! With a resounding boom, the Spirit Illusion Greatsword that was about to kill Xu Jinsong crashed into the pitch-black iron tower, sending sparks flying everywhere.
If he had been any slower, he would have died. Xu Jinsong, who was severely injured and had almost no strength to retaliate, was bound to be killed.
The Spirit Illusion Greatsword returned to Zhao Fei's hand. In his other hand, he grabbed a double-headed chain hammer, ready to strike. Sikong Wuwei grabbed the Mountain Suppressing Hammer and stowed it away. At the same time, a steel hoop appeared in his hand, with seven bells embedded into it. Miao Yi also didn't know what kind of transcendent artifact it was. The dragon-head Inversed-Scales Spear in his hand had already been replaced by the qilin-head Inversed-Scales Spear. The three of them turned to look at Shen Huaixin, who was still standing on the roof. Their killing intent was hard to suppress.
Ji Ze and Huang Jizhang also looked towards the roof. Everyone below looked towards the roof as well.
Meanwhile, Shen Huaixin swept his gaze across Miao Yi and the others. Initially, he wanted to use Xu Jinsong to test out just how arrogant these three bastards were. He was prepared to wait until Xu Jinsong was almost done dealing with them before stepping in to stop them. Little did he expect that Xu Jinsong would be defeated by the three of them instead. If he had acted any later, Xu Jinsong might have lost his life as well.
He didn't want Miao Yi and the others to die at Xu Jinsong's hands, but at the same time, he didn't want Xu Jinsong to die at the hands of these three either. First of all, this was his official residence. If he just stood by and watched, he would be held responsible if the higher-ups pursued the matter. Second, he wanted Miao Yi and the others to continue fighting against Xu Jinsong's group. In other words, he was using both sides to keep each other in check.
The situation was clear. Aside from him, no one else in Suppressing Tenth Hall dared to fight against the three Advisors. After all, the three Advisors had some connections with the higher-ups. He couldn't be unreasonable and openly oppress them. Aside from the three Advisors, no one else in the various Manors was a match for these three bastards. By maintaining the balance between the two sides, he could use Miao Yi and the others to slow down the progress of the three Advisors and avoid jeopardizing his own position. For example, the three Advisors would no longer offer cultivation resources to the three Advisors in their territories. In turn, the three Advisors would be able to suppress Miao Yi and the others. If Miao Yi and the others went out of control, Shen Huaixin would allow the three Advisors to suppress them.
Shen Huaixin landed in the center of the plaza. With a flip of his hand, the metal pagoda on the ground quickly flew up. It shrunk to the size of a mace and disappeared into Miao Yi's storage bangle.
Miao Yi thought to himself, 'It's actually a Third Grade Transcendent Artifact that can transform. It's even better than Yao Ruoxian's mace artifact. As expected of someone who had served in Suppressing Tenth Hall for so many years, enjoying the power of faith and reaching Red Lotus Seventh Grade.
Shen Huaixin waved his hand, and two Deacons immediately rushed over to Xu Jinsong's side, who was half-buried in the ground, and invoked their arts to help him out.
Xu Jinsong's complexion was already pale, and he looked extremely weak. However, his eyes were filled with hatred as he glared at Miao Yi and the others. He was already lucky to be alive.
This situation shocked all the Manor Heads present. That was a Red Lotus Second Grade cultivator! And yet he was beaten to such a state. Those three sure were ferocious. As expected of the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. What kind of transcendent artifacts did they have? Didn't they have a little too many transcendent artifacts? As expected, they had the right to be arrogant.
In truth, Miao Yi and the others were well aware that Xu Jinsong had only been beaten to such a state because of their transcendent artifacts. Moreover, they had worked together to do so. If they were to fight head-on, the three of them wouldn't even be able to withstand a single attack from Xu Jinsong.
"How dare you make a move in my residence. It looks like you don't respect me at all!" Shen Huaixin suddenly shouted, "Ji Ze, Huang Jizhang! Who was the one who started it? "
The two of them exchanged glances, speechless. They wanted to help Xu Jinsong, but they couldn't do it under the watchful eyes of the crowd and the Hall Master.
Shen Huaixin slowly turned to look at the frail Xu Jinsong and said, "Xu Jinsong, seeing as you've served Suppressing Tenth Hall for so many years, I'll let you off this time. But you'd better not do it again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite! Go and rest! "
"Xu Jinsong knows his mistake. Thank you for your mercy, Hall Master!" Xu Jinsong lowered his head and thanked Shen Huaixin as he was being supported by the two Deacons. However, when he turned to look at Miao Yi and the others, it was as if he wanted to tear them apart. Miao Yi sighed inwardly.
This time, they had become sworn enemies. He probably wouldn't have such a good opportunity next time. Hall Master Shen really knew how to pick a time to make a move. Miao Yi's top-tier Second Grade Transcendent Artifact had been destroyed for nothing. However, it wasn't like he didn't get anything out of it. He had traded a transcendent artifact for Xu Jinsong's arm. If Xu Jinsong wanted to fully recover, he would have to pay a huge price.
Shen Huaixin looked at the three Deacons, then pointed at the potholes on the plaza caused by the battle.
Even though Xu Jinsong was the one at fault, the responsibility of compensating for his injuries fell on the three Deacons. Not to mention, it was very expensive. Who told them to be so rich? They wouldn't let go of a reasonable opportunity to extort money from Xu Jinsong …
The commotion caused by the battle on the mountain had naturally attracted the attention of everyone in Suppressing Tenth Hall. Even though they didn't dare to go up the mountain, they still gathered at the foot of the mountain to investigate.
When the two Deacons carried the pitiful Xu Jinsong down the mountain, everyone was shocked. Aside from the Hall Master, who else could injure a Red Lotus Second Grade cultivator to this extent?
Earlier, when they heard Xu Jinsong and Sikong Wuwei's shouts during the battle, many of them speculated that the three Manor Heads had gotten into a fight. They all thought that Xu Jinsong was using his position to avenge a personal grudge, and that the three Manor Heads were going to be in big trouble.
Miao Yi, Sikong Wuwei, and Sikong Wuwei's subordinates were standing guard at the foot of the mountain, and they couldn't help but feel anxious. However, when they saw Xu Jinsong being carried down the mountain in such a manner, they were all shocked. 'How badly are the three Manor Heads injured?'
The Manor Heads of the various Manor Heads came down the mountain one after another. Miao Yi, Sikong Wuwei, and Sikong Wuwei were at the back of the group. Their expressions were dark, and it seemed like they were fine. Everyone was surprised. 'Advisor Xu was already injured to this extent, but these three … what exactly happened in the palace?'
"Milord! What happened? "Mu Tailai approached and asked.
"Go back!" Miao Yi barked, but didn't answer.
The three Deacons immediately left Suppressing Tenth Hall with their subordinates. They didn't linger at all, remaining silent throughout the entire journey. This wasn't the result they wanted to see.
At first, the three Deacons had planned to 'fight to the death' with the three Advisors. This way, they would be able to maximize their own benefits. Not only would they be able to prevent the three Advisors from interfering too much with their plans, but they would also be able to carefully maintain the situation.
The three Deacons never thought that Xu Jinsong would suddenly make a move in such a situation. It seemed like he had never been provoked like this by his subordinates before. His actions immediately messed up the three Deacons' tempo.
The situation was far from good. If they waited for Xu Jinsong to recover, he would most likely make a move on them even if he had nothing better to do. He wouldn't just be fighting back and forth anymore. What was worse was that they couldn't take advantage of Xu Jinsong's insolence to kill him in the first place to prevent any future troubles!
The three Deacons felt that time was of the essence, so they parted ways and returned to their respective Manors. Miao Yi gave some instructions to his subordinates, then went back to have a serious discussion with Yao Ruoxian. After that, he immediately went into seclusion to cultivate.
With such a huge incident happening in Suppressing Tenth Hall, there was no way to hide the truth. What's more, so many people had witnessed it with their own eyes. When the news spread, it didn't just shock the entire Suppressing Tenth Hall, but the entire Traversing Water Palace as well. Three Blue Lotus cultivators were actually able to defeat a Red Lotus Second Grade cultivator!
The other Manors within Suppressing Tenth Hall's domain were even more fearful of the three Deacons now. Meanwhile, the cultivators under the three Deacons were filled with pride. They never thought that their own Manor Heads would be so powerful.
The ones who were the most shocked were none other than Yan Xiu and Chen Fei. They couldn't believe that the Miao Yi they knew all those years ago had already grown to this extent!
However, what they didn't know was that Miao Yi and the other two Deacons didn't want this kind of fame that didn't match their strength at all. In the end, Xu Jinsong still lost because he didn't have much battle experience. His cultivation was just like how men feared being famous, because the more this news spread, the more humiliated Xu Jinsong would be. And the more he would do everything he could to regain his dignity!
In the capital city's' Spring Glory Pavilion ', a group of Hall Masters who accompanied the Palace Lord here to deliver the tributes were inevitably having a gathering.
"Brother Huo! That sworn brother of yours is really powerful under my command! Even my Advisor with a cultivation at Red Lotus Second Grade lost to him. He was almost killed! "Shen Huaixin took the initiative to clink his cup against Huo Lingxiao's.
"…" Huo Lingxiao seemed to have just remembered that he had a sworn brother serving under Miao Yi. Naturally, he couldn't help asking, "What happened?"
